Default "show this folder as an e-mail address book" greyed out

To use your previous data in the new profile, just use the same data file in
the new profile. The file you need is your Personal Folders file (*.pst)
It's where all the mail, calendar, contacts etc are stored.

Take a look at these pages for info on Outlook data backup or transfer:

Well documented. One of Outlook 2007's many bugs is that you cannot repair
the Outlook Address Book. That profile is toast.

When I try to add CONTACT to the Address Book, I find "show this folder
as an e-mail address book" greyed out.

I have done a google, and I have added the Outlook Address Book under
Accout Settings. I have read that you should be able to remove it and
then readd it, but the X is greyed out once I installed Outlook Address
Book.

I have created a new profile, and there it seems to work OK.

I realize I might not be able to "fix" the current profile. Is there a
way to get all of the email account over to the new profile? And all of
the data files?
I am using OL 2007

Thanks
Bruce
